I really don't know whats up with me?

  • I am a 15 year old girl.. i'm really popular at school, i've got a great family, a great boyfriend and an amazing horse :) my life is essentially amazing, and i should be so happy.. but i'm probably the most unhappy, frustrated, confused and messed up person. i don't know whats up with me, and its very hard to explain, but i shall try the best i can :) - i see things, like supernatural.. shadows and faces and such, in windows and mirrors, or in doorways... it's driving me crazy, i'm completely paranoid, and i won't be left alone in the house, go upstairs in the dark etc etc - it's the most horrible thing, and i don't know what to do, it's progressively getting worse and worse. - this has been more recent, as iv'e gotten older, but i've found myself flying off the handle at the tiniest things - just recently i've started taking criticism a lot harder than what i used to, i fly off the handle if someone makes even a small comment, i'm incredibly defensive.. way too defensive - my parents often call me ice queen, because i never ever cry at anything sad, only in times of desperation when i'm so angry or frustrated. i just don't feel any sympathy/empathy to others at all, not by choice... i just genuinely don't' feel anything. it scares me, and i know it scares other people sometimes too. - i'm incredibly hostile all the time, especially with my parents - according to my parents, the things i say sometimes arent normal.. they say it's like talking to a philosopher, i come out with all these deep statements.. they say i'm waaay too intense - i always feel like i can't take it anymore, it's too hard being like this all the time, it's killing me, and it's like a constant battle with my head - i have NO concentration whatsoever, it's horrible and no matter how hard i try, i don't know how to focus - i also am finding it increasingly difficult to tell the difference between what has actually happened, what i would like to happen, and what has happened on a TV show, or in a dream... it's awful, and so so confusing These problems are mainly at home, nobody at school etc knows me to be any different to anyone else.. they just think i have a really short temper What is wrong with me? :( is this really weird/unheard of? thankyou so much for your time xx

  • Answer:

    I can think of about 2 disorders that might fit, Schizophrenia and depression. Schizophrenia: 1. Delusions such as the belief that their lives are threatened by others 2. Hallucinations where the patient sees, hears, feels or smells things that are not there 3. Disorganized speech during which the patient talks to himself or herself or to imagined persons, in spurts or in rambles. 4. Catatonic behavior such as inactivity or stupor, or mania 5. Negative symptoms including social inability or isolation, difficulty speaking, “deadness” in facial expressions, voice or physical movements, lack of motivation or energy/no interest in life, and lack of emotions. 2) Depression: difficulty concentrating, remembering details, and making decisions fatigue and decreased energy feelings of guilt, worthlessness, and/or helplessness feelings of hopelessness and/or pessimism insomnia, early-morning wakefulness, or excessive sleeping irritability, restlessness loss of interest in activities or hobbies once pleasurable, including sex overeating or appetite loss persistent aches or pains, headaches, cramps, or digestive problems that do not ease even with treatment persistent sad, anxious, or "empty" feelings thoughts of suicide, suicide attempts You should defiantly see a doctor or phychitrist though, I hope this helps :)

I really, really can relate to you. First of all, you should think about, and identify if you are depressed. Often more severe depression can lead to irritibilty, and even hallucinations. The type of hallucinations that are most common are the kind you are talking about; seeing shadows out of the corner of your eye, then when you look they arnt there. It has happened to me, but more seriously. If it is progressing, and getting worse, maybe you are developing a minor psychosis. this can be brought on by too much stress, and often targets people with similar personality types; overthinkers/ people who think like philosophers. I think you should maybe think about talking to a medical proffesional about it, like your doctor, therapist, or psychiatrist. I dont suggest a psychiatrist at first though, because they try and feed you unnecisary medications. Good luck XXX
